  • Fouad El Ouardighi, presenter, ESSEC Business School
  • Jeong Eun Sim, KAIST Business School
  • Bowon Kim, KAIST Graduate School of Management, Korea

  This study seeks to characterize both market structures and vertical decision sequences that are most effective in terms of economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability. The following research questions are addressed:
  - Which decision sequence between manufacturer’s abatement effort and retailer’s price is most favorable in terms of net emissions and firms’ profits in vertically integrated markets?
  - Which vertical leadership is most favorable in terms of net emissions and firms’ profits in vertically competitive markets?
  - How do horizontal competition and integration modify the relative impact of the decision sequence between abatement effort and price in vertically integrated markets, on the one hand, and the vertical leadership in vertically competitive markets, on the other hand, on net emissions and firms’ profits?
